    True fix for High DPI monitors


    Hi,


    I have 2 27" monitors. One 4k and the other 1440p. While scaling the 4k monitor up to 150% makes it appear the same as the 1440p monitor, Windows still detects the 4k monitor as a "larger" monitor. This way i can't align them properly, like i can in MacOS. I'm also a music producer. Plugins appear extremely tiny on the 4k monitor in FL studio (Like they ignore the scaling i set in Windows). When will Windows truly be able to scale up the monitor, so that the resolution is at 4k but it's recognized as being a 1440p monitor?


    Thanks in advance

    :)

    141 DPI, if this calculator is to be trusted. It's high, but the monitor itself is pretty small. Got a link?

    I'm hoping to get a job soon, and I've pretty much come up with a full wishlist except a monitor... so..... anyone care to recommend a high DPI monitor? Anything above 20", 120ish or better DPI, and low latency please.
